Hi! So I have to pick my VCE subjects next week so I would like to get a reply as soon as possible. Anyway so I’m currently interacted into doing bachelor of science majoring in psychology or bachelor of law/commerce. From research I have gathered that Universities such RMIT, LaTrobe, Deakin do not rlly care about methods. But main problem is Monash and Melb Uni (the unis I’m aiming for).
From what I have gathered:
- Melb Uni Bachelor of Science, at least 25 raw study score in methods.
- Monash Bachelor Science, no maths requirement. MAIN QUESTION HERE: However I have been reading other forums and this where I would like some clarification. If methods isn’t a prerequisite then why are ppl mentioning that in this degree I will need to complete a bridging course, specifically UNIT MTH1010 which would of been covered in VCE methods. Can someone clarify this? Basically I don’t want to do methods, so I’m confused about this whole MTH1010 extra maths unit thing!
Anyway and then Bachelor of Law and Commerce at Melb Uni and Monash both require methods
I’m alright maths students, I’m above average when compared to other students. But when I’m place in an harder maths class then that’s where I fall. I did advanced maths this year (YR10 rn), still doing quite well. Tests and assignments I do well, usually get 80-90% marks. BUT when we had our YR10 semester exam… and I completely died. I did so bad, got a 39%. To be fair a lot of other students did bad too, but this is why im afraid to do methods. I would hate for history to repeat itself. I have realised that the actual exam is always so much more difficult. In the future I imagine that I would have to a lot of practise exams and extension questions in my own time since teachers only teach the most basic version of the maths. I’m afraid that will put all my time into studying for methods just to end up with a study score less then 25
Anyway I’m a pretty high achieving student so the minimum ATAR is not a problem for me, it’s the methods prerequisite I’m worried about. So any advise on if I should do methods or further? I’m just worried that I won’t get into any of the courses i want if I do further. I mean at last resort, I might just end up at RMIT or Deakin.
Thanks in advance!!
